Comments Thread For: Matchroom Nearing Replacement to Match With 'Boots' Ennis

[Oldskoolg]

One thing I can say about Peetotaler83 is he is a dykehead but at least he's a consistent dykehead. He talked shyte about Boots pre and post Showtime. Unlike you other fuqheads who now act like Boots fanbois. Haha this shyte is to funny!

He consistently has black men on the mind, these incels are a very odd and extremely mentally disordered crew

“We’ll have to go down the IBF rankings, because that’s a mandatory defence against Crowley, so we have to go to everybody and say, ‘Do you want the fight? Are you available?’, until we get someone that accepts it."

Let's see who wants smoke? MAN UP!

[BronxPride67]

Boots should chase Crawford, and go up to 154, Crawford running, so Boots should chase- even tho I know Crawford doesn't lose that one either - nobody beats Tank or Crawford, nobody beats Shakur either but thats cause he dont fight, he's a runner and a boring ass fighter

And Kavaliauskas and Avanesyan had incredible drawing power for Crawford to fight them? Incredible stuff here

They just won't admit Bud is politicking like fighters before him.

Boots is too dangerous for him to fight for a reasonable amount. It has to be astronomical.

Fraud Watch has been monitoring this Boots situation. Who is the new opponent?

Boots has nothing to offer. Weak resume, not a big name, and the only belt he has is one Crawford already vacated in a division he already completely unified. All Ennis has to do is go to 154 and win a belt and Crawford will come take it from him. If Ennis wants to fight Crawford his next opponent should be IBF 154 titlist Murtazaliev. Simple as that.

Because if Crawford doesn't get the Canelo fight, his stated goal is to be undisputed at 154. Absent Canelo he's going to fight Madrimov, then the Fundora/Spence winner, then the IBF titlist.

Crawford's resume is a bit too thin to be turning down fights. With a guy like canelo you can just about under stand it.

But who has Crawfird got really? Glass jaw Khan, post Errol and GGG Kell Brook, and post-car crash Spence.

Overall his best win is Postol probably.

13-0 vs top 10
8-0 vs top 5
4-0 vs #1 (or #2 if Crawford was #1)
10-0 vs fighters that won a legitimate world title
5-0 vs reigning world titlists
3-0 in unification fights
18-0 in world title fights
6-0 in lineal world championship fights
40-0-0-0 overall record, 31 KOs

135: Lineal/TBRB, Ring, WBO
140: Lineal/TBRB, Ring, WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO undisputed
147: Lineal/TBRB, Ring, WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO undisputed

3 division lineal world champion
2 division undisputed world champion
3 division world titlist

His next opponent:
vs #3 Israil Madrimov (reigning WBA 154, vacant WBO 154 title and WBC mandatory status at stake)

Madrimov is a MUCH bigger legacy fight for Crawford. If he wins it he's halfway to undisputed and he's a four division world titlist, three division unified world titlist.

Hmmm maybe being a bit harsh on him. Porter was a good win.

His early career and lightweight run was very poor quality though but he beat everyone put in front of him

Burns, Gamboa, Beltran, and Postol were all fantastic wins at the time. You clearly weren't even watching the lightweight and super lightweight divisions back then.
